[2] The northern end of the range is just south of the Panamint Springs Resort on Highway 190.

The range runs south to Argus Peak, just northwest of Searles Lake, near the town of Trona, California.

[3] It extends from the military reservation on the west to the foot of the Argus Range on the east.

Several private property holdings are located within this wilderness area including a rather deep cherry-stem at Snow Canyon and a 40-acre (16 ha) parcel known as Onyx Springs between Shepherd and Bendire Canyons.

Many land-owners were affected by the creation of the Argus Range Wilderness Area in 1994 [citation needed] .
